I will provide you several workarounds, please accept as a solution if one of following steps helped you to solve this issue. If not, please respond that we can look for other possible solutions. To make sure that no corrupt data causing your issue, you should clear your cache: From the dashboard, click on My Xbox. Select System Settings. Select Storage. Highlight Hard Drive Device. Press Y to select Device Options, then Clear System Cache. Reboot your console. Redownload the updates for the game. NOTE: Not all games have a Title Update File. From the Dashboard, click on My Xbox. Select System Settings. Select Storage. Select Hard Drive Device by pressing A. Select Games and Apps. Select Game Title. Delete Title Update File. Restart Game. Download the update when prompted. Cheers Basti

In addition to what Basti stated I use a workaround which usually works for me. When I spawn with no hands and no weapon, I hit the button to switch weapons (Triangle on PS3, “Y” on Xbox, and "2" on PC), the game will hesitate slightly and my hands will appear with my pistol. I hit the button again and it swaps at normal speed to my primary weapon. This works every time for me but not always for everyone who has this problem. I play BF3 on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 and it works on each platform for me.

@MRMOPARMAN0426 Try this,

1. Turn off PlayStation 3.
2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shut down, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps.
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button.
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.
7. Select Restore File System.

This will delete any corrupt files off of your system. It won't delete any game data.

Barry rebuilding your PS3 database is a great general troubleshooting technique for PS3. I do it when nothing else seems to work and it usually clears things right up.
